The Connollys

Natalie and Jeff Connolly stopped by for a few days. They were on their way home from a 10 day vacation in Spain and we were sooo glad they put France on their docket. They had planned to take the train from the airport to our village, but due to many complicated train schedules they missed all available lines. After lots of map reading and international phone calls we connected late Sunday night/Monday morning (1am) and I picked them up from the train station in Melun. We pretty much laughed the whole way home. Little adventures like that seem to make a trip that much more memorable!

We had fun doing our little local stops together. Jeff bought Natalie and I French hats which I'm sure will come in handy this summer. We felt so fashionable walking through the marche. Natalie and I met in college where we both joined the same sorority. She has been a life-long friend ever since. Both Natalie and Jeff are TALL. I feel like a regular shrimp when I stand next to them...they are wonderful people to look up to. So talented, nice and FUN. The kids really enjoyed another set of parents to play with and tease. The last night for the Connolly's visit we received more visitors - Jose and Christina. It was a good-bye and welcome dinner all wrapped up into one evening. Thanks for coming Natalie & Jeff!
